It doesn't seem like that long ago that Arnie was saving a teenage John Connor from amorphous metal robots from the future, but with the news that John Connor himself is heading to jail for six months, and you hear he's now thirty-five, it's a bit of a shock.
Now Edward Furlong always looked a bit weird, let's not beat around the bush here, but we didn't know he was this weird. The 'Terminator 2' actor was sent back into custody on Monday for violating a 2010 restraining order banning him from contacting his estranged wife, Rachael Kneeland, which is linked to other legal troubles faced by the actor who was recently arrested twice for using force against his ex-girlfriend Monica Keena.
Detained by cops after allegedly grabbing Monica's arm at LAX airport in October last year, he then again was taken into custody in January after they had another argument, resulting in him facing a misdemeanour battery charge which is still pending. It doesn't stop there.
Edward was then arrested and jailed in February, for having broken the terms of his probation in the 2010 case brought against him by Rachael, which stated he was required to obey all laws during the three year probation period.
After Monday's hearing, his lawyer, made a statement saying 'Mr. Furlong had the opportunity to avoid jail in a deal my office worked out which would of resolved not just this case but two other criminal cases in Beverly Hills, by checking himself into a drug rehabilitation program, a very unusual disposition in a case that alleged violence. Sadly, Mr. Furlong rejected all proposals to get into drug rehabilitation, and the court, ultimately decided that it was forced to sentence to him a hefty amount of jail time. We are hopeful that Mr. Furlong uses this experience, unpleasant as it may be, to revisit the issue of rehab when he is released.' Hopefully the stint in the slammer will reform him in the way it did for Robert Downey Jr., although that is probably hoping for a bit too much.
